[quote][/quote] I agree. Once the daily rate of new cases drops to an acceptable level, the government will lift restrictions. They won't continue with them any longer than is absolutely necessary for the medical services to cope, it's hurting the country financially and economically.
In my opinion, the first week or two after restrictions have been lifted will be the time you will be most likely to catch it when everyone mingles again.
I think this is a real issue TonTri - we don't know what the recovery strategy is, and the danger of second, third or more waves is obvious. It will be very instructive to see what happens in Sweden, which - alone - is adopting something close to a "herd immunity" policy...in other words Let's Get This Over With". Brave and risky but could be proved right, rather than cripple the economy, with all the mayhem and suffering that will involve down the years.
